I believe that the state and media backed changing of the meaning of the word, 'Covid' to 'the period of time when non-pharmaceutical interventions were in place' rather than the disease itself will, in the future, be seen as the most damaging linguistic trick in history.

A note to Canadian parents: Itโ€™s Game 6 on Friday, so Halloween is over at 7:30 pm this year.

The post shows a tweet from journalist Taylor Lorenz responding to a tweet by David Moscrop. Moscrop mentions getting his annual flu and COVID shots, noting it should reduce illness and transmission. Lorenz replies, emphasizing that current COVID vaccines do not significantly prevent infection or transmission, warning that some vaccinated people may take more risks believing theyโ€™re fully protected. She adds that vaccines help prevent severe outcomes and death, but urges people to wear masks to stop infecting others.

Exactly this โ€” vaccines help prevent hospitalisation and death, but they donโ€™t stop infection or transmission. Thatโ€™s why masking is still so important. ๐Ÿ˜ท

Dr Oz: โ€œI think we all agree that Covid has passedโ€.

No we do not agree!

Anyone who thinks Covid has passed has no business in charge of public health.

Itโ€™s still here. Itโ€™s still killing and disabling.

Get your booster if you can. Wear a mask (ideally an N95) and clean the air!

Defaulting to surgical masks in health care settings in 2025 is one of the most dissapointing examples of reluctance to change despite overwhelming evidence.

Even defaulting to KN95 style would significantly increase protection of the most vulnerable.

Infuriating inertia in the HC industry.
